Oracle will still authenticate users who aren't defined with external
authentication, so unless I'm missing something, I see no reason for you
to retain SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE).

I should have been little more informative. I want to retain
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE) in my sqlnet.ora and would
want oracle database to authenticate the users. Since
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE) is specified, OS
authentication is disabled and hence / as sysdba fails with
insufficient privileges. But dbstart/dbshut use / as sysdba to start
database from /etc/oratab with values 'Y' against the instance names.
sys/password@orams works fine while connecting normally but I
cannot/donot want to hard code sys password in dbstart/dbshut
scripts(No one would do that). TWO_TASK does not work. When set
TWO_TASK basically is a replacement for @orams where orams is the tns
connection name. It is not set in my environment. I hope I made myself
clear here. Please let me know if you need more info. Thanks for your
help.

version of oracle: 10.1.0.3.0
platorm: OEL 5.3
